In options, I've selected "standard" for the cookie policy. I've emptied the cache, used the "forget this site" in the history for the web pages where the message pops up, and reloaded Firefox. It still prompts me.

I work for a ISP company currently I trying block URLs with a firewall, however for any reason I can´t block URLs when using Mozilla, I tried another explorers like Internet Explorer and these works.
I read about DoH but I dont sure that be my issue, I believe that is a issue about Mozilla proxies or something like that.

You know when you approve Firefox to remember log-in names (NOT PASSWORDS!!!) just log in names like the user name?
I know which I created but 1) someone hacked into my email and 2) when I went to log in to of course change passwords, I see this user name I did not create. Something like Gina2659 -- I see it show up but I put in the real name,
How did this come about? I did not create that.
How do i get rid of it?
Is there a way to get firefox to unremember it? I would appreciate un-doing it.
Also, most important, someone of course accessed my email because a folder was created that I DID NOT CREATE and it was a "send" folder when I have a sendmail folder. I have no idea for how long, probably not long, but there were emails I sent months ago, MONTHS AGO LIKE MAY that I saw in that folder. I got rid of the folder and of course went through the process of changing passwords to my email, and am going to change this one, too.

Another issue: I do NOT EVER want a password for everything. How do I check to be sure this is not the case with the mozilla password I have? When I see the "you did it! your signed in" and then get firefox everywhere else" Does that mean this password is used for other things in firefox? I only want a password for the browser which should also be used to get help, whether they call it firefox or mozilla. I think the one password that opens all is insanity. That is what google does. This is why I don't ever use chrome anymore.
It is why I make sure to change my gmail password every month.
Why I cringe at even having to have it in my smart phone and why I will never gt another android phone.
I appreciate your help and insight.
(I ASSURE ALL, there is no way I created that folder, and NO WAY anyone else could have because I am utterly careful and NOBODY else can use this notebook unless they hack in.)
I think this happened around the time a week ago I first saw that "user name" gina6598 whatever. NOT my creation.
thanks,
Gina

How does DNS over HTTPS modes define usage of hosts file?

Firefox: 69.0, OS: Ubuntu 18.04.3

I noticed that when I enable DNS over HTTPS ("network.trr.mode" set to 2 - use DoH, fall back to DNS), *and* hostname is defined in hosts file (/etc/hosts), Firefox usage of hosts file is inconsistent and hard to predict.

If IPs defined in hosts file and obtained via DNS request differ, corresponding site/resources behaves erratically, as if Firefox chooses at random, which page components' DNS address should be resolved via hosts, and which via DoH.

I had to disable DoH for that reason.

It is possible to set up DoH, so that it used hosts records, if present, and used DNS in all other cases?

Recently I notice that after browsing in a private window of Firefox and closing that window I can find a cache of that browsing in .cache/mozilla/Firefox/z39yd8n9.dev-edition-default/cashe2/entries folder. There are images that I saw only in private browsing. And this is not private, and other files.
